It would be sexual harassment, with all the hard cocks and spraying semen and whatnot.
Well, the male equivalent would a men only group and a male instructor -
Which would, of course, itself be discrimination based on sex. You are going to say a place of public accommodation (yoga school open to the public) is not going to admit women? That's like saying a hair salon can refuse women..... And, incidentally, since gender is a social construct, then persons not born biologically male but identifying as male would have to be allowed in, right?

so who would be being harassed exactly?
Other persons identifying as male? Men aren't harassed by things that women are harassed by?

I guess the word "orgasm" confused me. But, I should be careful about that, since we live in a world where words hardly mean anything anymore.

Perhaps women are a little more free with sexual expression within a group of women that men would be, but I do think you're trying too hard to find a problem here. Seems to me that your objection is basically to the thought that women are being afforded some special right or privilege, or do you actually think that men are discriminated against because they're just not allowed to participate in group masturbation sessions in health clubs? It's not like there aren't venues where that kind of thing can take place among like minded individuals. Have you ever been to fetish club or visited the mens room at a gay bar?
I didn't have a problem with the orgasmic yoga. If, however, there were reports of men did it, it would be criticized as sexist, particularly if classes were declared male only.
The overall point, of women being afforded special privilege, yes, indeed, culturally, in the US, they are. Women have far more leeway to do things without being criticized for their behavior, particularly in the realm of dress and sexuality. There was recently a scandal on facebook where a woman shared what she said was a beautiful picture of her naked husband holding their naked toddler in the shower. The internet erupted, with people declaring that it was sexist and pedophilic and the like. However, if a mostly nude woman is holding a mostly nude baby or toddler, it's generally not a problem.

Just replace vagina here with penis, and the other female gendered terms/words with male gendered ones --

“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
